I, CHARLES J. MoALIsTER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements' in Tassels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is a method of constructing cheap, durable, and highly ornamental tassels and curtain pendants, by making them principally of glass, which can be used of any desirable color, and dispenses with the expensive covering of woolen or silk fabric now used in the manufacture of similar articles. The use of glass for the upper part of the tassel dispenses with' the necessity-of a woolen or silken covering, and is, at the same time, cheaper and more. durable, as well as more highly ornamental. Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tassel entire. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the top part of 1.
